The story

Feria d'Arles in Arles

Arles's Pentecost feria fills the city's Roman amphitheatre with bullfights and courses camarguaises while walking brass bands lead crowds between bars and squares outside. Rooted in the city's long bullfighting tradition, it pairs the ticketed spectacle inside the arena with a free, informal street party of music, rose and Camargue food across the old town.

Arles closes central streets each Pentecost weekend for a five-day feria built around bullfighting, courses camarguaises and the brass bands that march through the old town between events.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The feria centers on Arles's Roman amphitheatre, an arena that has staged spectacles for close to two thousand years and switched to bullfighting in the nineteenth century, a setting no purpose-built bullring can replicate

02

The mystery stays covered

Alongside Spanish-style corridas, the program includes courses camarguaises, a bloodless regional sport where a razeteur tries to pluck a rosette from a young bull's horns using only a hooked comb

03

The city starts moving

Outside the arena, penas -- walking brass bands -- lead informal street parties from bar to bar, so much of the feria's energy plays out for free in public squares rather than inside any ticketed venue
